  • Publication number: 20240146959
    Abstract: Disclosed are an image encoding method using a skip mode and a device using the method. The image encoding method may comprise the steps of: judging whether there is residual block data of a prediction target block on the basis of predetermined data indicating whether residual block data has been encoded; and, if there is residual block data, restoring the prediction target block on the basis of the residual block data and an intra-screen predictive value of the prediction target block. Consequently, encoding and decoding efficiency can be increased by carrying out the encoding and decoding of screen residual data only for prediction target blocks where there is a need for a residual data block in accordance with screen similarity.

  • Publication number: 20230338862
    Abstract: A method for providing an interactive game through a processor of a computing device is proposed. The method may include outputting a first message generated through a character account corresponding to a character of an interactive game application on a chatting application. The method may also include when a second message is acquired in response to the first message from a user account corresponding to a user playing the interactive game on the chatting application, performing a reaction determined on the basis of the second message. The character account may be created on the chatting application when the user signs up for the interactive game.

  • Patent number: 7029989
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same. The minimum marginal width of an impurity diffusion layer is defined to reduce by a given width. The reduced width of the impurity diffusion layer is compensated for through a silicon growth layer formed on the top of a device isolation film having a relatively higher degree of freedom than the bottom of the device isolation film. Thus, the degree of integration in the semiconductor device can be improved while keeping intact the minimum marginal width of the impurity diffusion layer.
